The MLOps Workflow: How Barbara fits in

Most industrial companies (up to 77% according to a last-year study by IBM) are working or planning to work with AI and Machine Learning as a means to optimize their operations or enable new revenue streams. And Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) is becoming the paradigm as a work framework for the Data and Infrastructure teams involved. Understanding the MLOps workflow is crucial for those companies; but also for Barbara, who is at the forefront of Edge AI for industrial applications. So, let’s break down this workflow and see how Barbara integrates into each phase.
